NBA October Meeting – Overwintering your bees
We have our October Meeting planned and we want to see you there!
When: Sunday Oct 9th 1:00pm
Where: Charlie Simonds apiary – Honey Bee World, 12805 Rokeby Road, Bennet, NE. It is just south of Highway 2 between 120th and 134th Streets Southeast of Lincoln.
What: Charlie will be showing us best practices for overwintering your bee hives. Bring your protective equipment as we will be around live hives.
*Attn Scholarship students and new beekeepers** this is a great learning experience for you as you get ready to put your hives away for winter. Having strong colonies going into winter sets you up for next year!
